Chapter 192: Grievances
With the strong urging of the county order, the construction of the waterwheel was exceptionally fast.
It didn't take three days for a waterwheel to stand in the place where it should have been erected.
Seeing the water being poured into the ridges with buckets of watering, the faces of the people bloomed with joy.
However, there was tension in the Sun family.
This is all due to a letter from Sun Yushi.
The imperial court controls the land, and has always centralized and controlled the land, intentionally or unintentionally.
But this is just the open side, the officials say that they are loyal to the monarch, but in fact, they all have their own little Jiujiu in their hearts, and there are few who do not privately circle some land for their own use.
Most of this kind of thing is that the people do not raise officials and do not hold them accountable, and they are confused.
Sun Yushi followed the crowd before, thinking of seeking some benefits for his family.
But who knew that the clansmen were too greedy, and even assigned most of this county to the Sun family, and when he knew that the territory had been circled for a long time, he wanted to spit it out, not to mention others, even his own father would not allow it.
Sun Yushi couldn't control it at this time, and he couldn't bear his father's anger, so he had to act as a protective umbrella.
But fortunately, the Sun family has been quite obedient over the years, and they can still listen to what he says, which makes him feel at ease.
But this time, he keenly smelled that the limelight was wrong, and hurriedly sent a message home without waiting for anything.
It's just that in the end, he can only wait.
It was easy to wait until the waterwheels were all set up, and the news that Zuo Xiang was leaving, Sun Yushi breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Yuan Baoer also pinched the time and set off with Zuo Xiang.
The car was still the same car, still creaking.
But in the ears of the left side, it is as comfortable as music.
Yuan Bao'er is also very good-natured, and she didn't mention the matter of Tian Mu anymore, and the two tacitly thought that there was no such thing.
The car got on the official road, and was about to speed up when it was stopped by a terrible howl.
"What's going on"
Zuo Xiang didn't watch out and was almost thrown out.
The coachman stopped the carriage and said loudly: "My lord, it is a woman who stopped the carriage and shouted grievances. ”
Yuan Baoer immediately lifted the curtain and saw a plain-clothed woman kneeling in front of the carriage, holding up a confession, saying that her man was killed by wicked people, and she was wrongfully accused of stealing people, and she wanted to be sunk in the pond and ask someone to call the shots.
"How can this be reasonable," Zuo Xiang scolded with a gloomy face.
"But no, how can this be reasonable," Yuan Bao'er said, "Lang Lang Qiankun, brilliant sky, there are such wicked people." ”
Zuo Xiang frowned, and before he could speak, Yuan Baoer had already jumped down.
She helped the woman up with a pleasant face, "Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly, Lord Zuo Xiang is in the car, his old man is the most upright, and he will never let the wicked take the lead." ”
The woman sobbed urgently, came to the car window, knelt on the ground, and held up the confession, "The grievances of the women are all on the petition, and I ask the adults to give justice to the women." ”
It took a few breaths in the car before reaching out.
Yuan Baoer smiled and took the confession and stuffed it over.
Then he helped the woman up, got into the car neatly, and came to the left to look at it.
Zuo Xiang was so squeezed by her that he almost hit the car board, and couldn't help but stare at her.
Yuan Bao'er was thick-skinned, and she was not afraid to stare at her, so she just read the paper, and then said: "This thing is a bit strange, what do you think, adult?"
"You've said everything I want to say, what else do I think?"
Zuo Xiang rolled his eyes.
"Then let's turn around"
Yuan Bao'er said a question, and knocked on the compartment board with her hand, "Clean up the back and let the woman sit over." ”
The coachman slipped away to get busy.
The woman thanked her and sat down.
The coachman asked Ming Di Fan and drove over.
Yuan Baoer tilted her head and continued to study the confession, "This word is not bad, it is a bit of a style. ”
She looked up, "yes, sir."
Zuo Xiang snorted, "What is your intention to delay several times?"
"Hey, that's not what I said," Yuan Bao'er said: "You see, I didn't delay that incident earlier, if you want to blame the county order." ”
"If he hadn't pushed back and cut corners, he wouldn't have reworked."
"This time it has nothing to do with me," Yuan Bao'er said with an innocent face, "Even if I am a god, I can't count anyone who will complain about it, and I hit our car, do you say no"
Zuo Xiang snorted, too lazy to pay attention to her.
Yuan Bao'er grinned, "My lord, don't be careful, I really don't mean anything else." ”
Zuo Xiang said goodbye to the beginning, too lazy to deal with her again.
When the car arrived at the mansion, he lifted the curtain and got out of the car.
Yuan Bao'er took the opportunity to look at the woman, and saw that her face was sad from beginning to end, and she seemed to be still stunned, so she quietly got out of the car.
There was no one in the palace.
Zuo Xiang turned around and didn't find anyone, and suddenly roared angrily, "What about people?"
After a few breaths, an old man who was almost confused came over tremblingly, "Rest today, don't be a director." ”
"How can this be reasonable," Zuo Xiang was furious.
Local officials are sometimes lazy and slippery, and everyone knows this kind of thing, as long as it is not excessive, it will pass.
But here, laziness is very obvious, and even somewhat taken for granted.
Yuan Bao'er came in slowly, looked left and right, and said, "That's it, how did the evaluation of this county order come about?"
Zuo Xiang's eyes flashed, and he walked through the front hall and went straight to the back.
The old man wanted to stop him, but he was stunned by Yuan Baoer's waist card, and he was so busy that he would only go to the officials who didn't know where to go.
Zuo Xiang went all the way in, and it didn't take long to hear the sound of babbling singing.
He walked around the verandah, and saw a man dressed as a boy in the gazebo, often cheerful, waiting for the maid beside him, and there was drumming and playing not far away.
"Ridiculous," he strode over, pointing to the county order pointed at the lotus flower, "that's how you became a parent official"
"Who are you?"
The county order is used to being powerful, where can I be educated by you, I immediately turned over a praise and asked politely.
"Bold," Yuan Bao'er rushed over, "Don't meet Lord Zuo Xiang yet." ”
The county order was stupid, he hurriedly came down and measured the waist card that Yuan Bao'er was carrying.
That's the brand of the Ministry of Works, and this one has already pressed him by several grades.
And this one was still standing behind the bad old man.
In other words, it is really possible that this person is the left minister.
He muttered in his heart, knelt down and pleaded guilty.
Zuo Xiang's anger is really not light, he nodded at the head of the county order, "Let me ask you, who is the director of the court now?"
"My master," the county commander replied honestly.
"What about others?"
The county order turned around, and the little guy slipped away to find someone.
Yuan Bao'er saw that it was almost over, so she played a round, "My lord, this day is big, and you have also walked all the way, why don't we do it," she glanced at the messy pavilion and pointed to the house in the distance, "Let's go inside and rest for a while, drink tea, and wait slowly." ”
Zuo Xiang wandered around in the car for a long time, and was so angry that Yuan Bao'er didn't even drink saliva, and he was so thirsty that he was smoking.
Hearing this, he glanced at her and snorted softly.
Yuan Bao'er hurriedly followed, and by the way, kicked the county order, asking him to follow quickly.
